Nah just the $65 to enter but that fee also used to cover one passenger for "pit crew". Not any more though. Now they have to pay their own entry on top.

Oh I see. Small price to pay anyway. Im used to throwing away nearly a k for a drift event. I'll even have cash left over for after calder kebabs!

Calder is still the same old... Lucky if you get 3 runs on a Friday night etc.

If I were all of you, I'd be finding out if you can attend the below event... WRX Club have a drag night on the 8th, Sat night:

They have hired the circuit for the Sat Day time so likely have just rented out the place for the evening also.

You'll likely get closer to double the amount of runs, if not more, given Calder pack as many cars as they can into a Fri night to pocket as much cash as possible. Probably less track time loss as well with shitboxes etc.

heya mate should have come and said hello! was yours the white gtt?

best et i got was 12.4 and mph was 120. Had no traction off the line unfortunately.. Time to buy stock rear suspension and et streets

yeh mate :). I had the same problem.. running stock rims on the rear with shit 225 tyres, no traction :/ could only manage a 14.1.. packed it in after 5 runs. need to invest in some radials. 275rwkw for a 14.1 was embarrassing lol

60' was 2.5s

14.1 @ 110mph

Did you lift off before the end?

110mph is about 220rwkw, not 280, fairly big gap there!

Didn't lift off just found it hard to find traction.. first time running the car thought stock rims with new tyres would suffice but soon found out wheel spin everywhere, didn't get one decent launch and was only launching at 3-4k rpm.. Best run was no launch at all. Stock rims are too narrow and even though the tyres are new they are some shit Chinese tyres

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
